Heat Flux Sensors

The MF-180 has a high sensitivity in spite of the small size. It is suitable for measuring a small heat flow generating a detectable output. For system designers and research engineers, it is a convenient detector to validate the physical mathematics of simulated heat transfer models. For the evaluation of:

Efficiency of heat insulation

Water retention and thermal insulation

Thermal loss in air conditioners and pipes Heat flow at the side walls of refrigerators and freezers

Heat insulation and water retention after retaining construction

Thermal resistance of insulating materials in accordance with ASTM C-58

Thermal loss of insulating walls such as CHB and GHB

Cold retention rate and comparison/observation of cold-retaining materials used for LNG tanks

Heat flow rates in housing

Conformable rate of building materials for both walls and flooring​

The MP-190 is a large area (310 x 310mm) flexible thin foil heat flow sensor. It can be easily rolled on a curved surface and attached to large surface areas. Due to its large sizes, it gives properly averaged thermal conductivity results for large areas without the potential risk of measuring local hot spot effects or thermal bridges.

For the measurement of:

Evaluation of floor heating Research on heating efficiency of various lamps and other light sources

Measurement of radiative heating and heating absorption of various parts of an automobile

Research of radiative heating of various plants

The low output Voltage of the heat flow sensor can be easily converted to a 4-20mA current or higher Voltage using the MS-4..20mA converter. The mV/mA converter can be pre-programmed and optimised within the operating range compatible with common measurement equipment.
